The Location:
Nestled in a clearing in the woods with the natural beauty of birch trees, maples and songbirds surrounding you. Deer pass through the meadow out back during your breakfast on the deck. Our house offers a tranquil retreat and is easily accessible from Traverse City, M-22 and US31. A short walk to Crystal Lake with public access at the end of the road (~400 yards).
The House:
Built in 1998 as a year round residence, in 2008 we added the log siding and cedar deck (14x20) for a more “up north” feel. Inside we added hickory floors, updated the bath fixtures and painted. To expand the living space, we finished the front screened porch with pine siding, log furniture and a swinging bench. Eat inside or out with ample seating at pine table inside and teak table for six just outside on the deck. Comfortably sleeps six.
